Even when he is aware of their threat, the Blues coach is eyeing a favourable result against the defending champions

Berekum Chelsea coach Svetislav Tanasijevic admits that facing Aduana Stars in the Ghana Premier League matchday 10 would be an uphill battle.

Both sides will clash in Dormaa Ahenkro on Saturday.

Following a slow start to the 2017-18 campaign, the Blues have recovered from their slumber and are without a defeat in their last three games, claiming two wins despite a stadium ban.

“It’s another tough game for us and especially because it's a local derby,” Tanasijevic told Success FM.

“I've not played against them before but many of my players and technical team members are aware of their threats and so I've been briefed.

“My players did well against Sharks in Kumasi because our home has been banned and so we're ready to continue our recent good performance. We're aiming at winning against Aduana and then look forward for other important victories,” he added.
